Conservation Area
And The People There
Approximately 40,000 people live in the conservation area. There are around 30,000 animals ranging from leopard, cheetah, elephant and hyena to warthog, buffalo and impala. The area is also one of the best places to see the endangered black rhino and black-maned male lions. Black Rhinos were brought back from the brink of extinction and now their population, has bounced back to over 5,000 worldwide, about 30 of which can be found at Ngorongoro Crater.
